Saddle Tramps will ride Sunday , June 5th, from Earl P. Powers Park on Hawthorne Road circumnavigating the Newnans Lake and back on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail--approximately 24 miles total.

Powers Park is four miles from the intersection of University Avenue East, and Hawthorne Road, with a left turn into the parking lot and boat launch at Newnans Lake.  Be at the Park by 8:00 a.m. for an 8:10 a.m. departure in order to beat the heat.  There are bathrooms at the park, and we will stop on the east side of Newnans Lake for a short break.  There is also a convenience store at the intersection of Hawthorne Road and C.R. 234.  Bring plenty of water or sports drink.  Much of this ride is shaded, however it is getting to be very hot.

If you want to consider a longer option, be at my house (516 N.E. 2nd Street) at 7:10 a.m for about 8 miles (each way) to Powers Park and back.

Questions, call Melinda (352, 373-1023) @ home.   For late calls cell is 373-1026.
